Inquiry

The project intends to meet the intent of the credit using the following method: 1. Where possible, enclosed perimeter spaces will be provided with operable windows meeting the requirements of ASHRAE 62.1-2004 Paragraph 5.1 for natural ventilation. It is anticipated that approximately 20% of the building occupants will reside in these naturally ventilated zones. 2. Open office spaces not within the window ventilation zones will be provided with a temperature control system interface allowing occupants within each zone to vote for a space temperature setpoint in that zone. This interface will permit the space temperature to be adjusted up or down by an adjustable range of temperature (+/-2 degrees increase and half of the occupants vote for a 2 degrees decrease in temperature). The intent of the EQc6.2 is to give a high level of thermal comfort control by individual occupants to fit individual tasks and preferences. Based on the information provided, the system proposed will not meet the intent of the credit. Applicable Internationally.
